Seogwipo sashimi platter with soy shrimp: Tamra Hansang

Where is Tamra Hansang in Seogwipo, and when is it open?

Tamra Hansang is at 22-5 Taepyeong-ro 353beon-gil, Seogwipo-si, Jeju-do, South Korea, open daily from 10:00 to 22:00. Today I went to Tamra Hansang, where you can enjoy a really hearty full-course meal in Seogwipo, Jeju 🐷🌴

Even the exterior gives off that Jeju local-favorite vibe. Finding a place like this while traveling already puts me in a good mood before I even walk in 😆

Inside Tamra Hansang and the 2nd-floor group seating

Walking into Tamra Hansang, the interior was bigger and cleaner than I expected 👍 The tables were spaced generously too, so it looked good for families or bigger groups.

At Tamra Hansang, drinks and alcohol are self-serve 🍺🥤 Actually kind of nice — no need to flag anyone down, just grab what you need. There was also a second floor up the stairs 😊 It's run as group seating, so it looked great for bigger gatherings or families.

The table setting and side dishes

Once we sat down, soy sauce and chojang (vinegared chili paste) were set out first 😋 Basically already ready for sashimi.

Then a huge spread of banchan (side dishes) came out 🥢 Kimchi, seasoned vegetables, seaweed — quite a variety. Before the mains even arrived, my chopsticks were already busy, and I honestly worried I'd fill up on side dishes alone 😂

Soy-marinated shrimp came out too, along with vegetables 🦐🥗 The plump shrimp caught my eye before anything else.

Fried cutlassfish

Then the deep-fried cutlassfish arrived 🐟 Golden brown and perfectly fried. The batter was crispy on the outside with soft cutlassfish inside, so after one piece my chopsticks naturally reached for the next 😆 Nobody told them to — my chopsticks just went full autopilot 😂

What comes on the mixed sashimi platter?

Tamra Hansang's mixed sashimi platter had flounder, mackerel, sweet shrimp and cutlassfish all on one plate 🐟✨ All the Jeju seafood I wanted to try, in one go. Each one had its own flavor and texture, so tasting through them one by one was really fun 😋

Mackerel sashimi eaten with seaweed

I tried the mackerel sashimi with seaweed 😋 Placing a piece of mackerel on the seaweed and eating it in one bite brought out that distinctive nutty mackerel flavor even more.

Sweet shrimp

And you can't skip the sweet shrimp when you're in Jeju 🦐

I peeled off the shell gently and dipped it right into the chojang. The problem with sweet shrimp is that despite the name, it's basically impossible to stop at just one 😂 That sweet, springy texture keeps your hand reaching back.

Cutlassfish sashimi

Next up, cutlassfish sashimi 🐟 That silvery shine alone screamed Jeju. Thin, soft texture made it easy to eat without feeling heavy. Paired with the side vegetables, the crunch made it even better 😋

Potato rice, seaweed soup and soy-marinated shrimp

The rice course came with potato rice and seaweed soup 🍚 The rice had big chunks of potato, nutty and filling, and with the seaweed soup alongside, the full spread finally felt complete.

I peeled the soy-marinated shrimp myself 🦐 A little mess on the hands is absolutely not a problem.

If it's the price of eating something delicious, this kind of labor is done gladly 😂 Once peeled, the flesh underneath was plump and springy.

Dombe pork rounds out the set

Then dombe pork (Jeju-style sliced boiled pork) came out as the main dish too 🐷✨ Neatly sliced meat that instantly felt like classic Jeju food. With sashimi, seafood, and now dombe pork all on the table, I started to understand why it's called Tamra Hansang ("Tamra full-course table") 😆

I wrapped the dombe pork in cabbage leaves 🥬🐷 Meat on the cabbage, plus a piece of garlic, and one bite — the crunchy cabbage and mild pork went really well together 😋

After eating sashimi nonstop, one bite of meat completely changes the mood in your mouth. Like going from swimming in the sea to suddenly standing on land 😂

I topped the potato rice with the soy-marinated shrimp and ate them together 🍚🦐 The salty shrimp and nutty potato rice combo worked better than I expected. One spoon of rice with a piece of shrimp on top — this isn't a rice thief, this is straight-up rice kidnapping 😂 Even full, my spoon kept moving — I guess fullness just takes a break in front of good food 🤭

Souvenirs and coffee after the meal

After the meal, I noticed Tamra Hansang also sells Jeju souvenirs and has a coffee vending machine ☕🎁 A nice way to wrap up a filling meal with a cup of coffee.

From sashimi to sweet shrimp, cutlassfish sashimi, soy-marinated shrimp, and dombe pork, Tamra Hansang let me enjoy a wide range of the Jeju dishes I wanted to try, all in one sitting 😊 If you can't pick just one dish, this place lets you try a generous spread of Jeju food, and I think satisfaction runs pretty high 👍🌴
